Roctober Magazine Senior Tastemaker

Roctober Magazine Reviews: , IL, These reviews will be featured in forthcoming issues of Roctober Magazine (www.roctober.com). To submit material for review please (VLF Films) While it's accurate, I am hesitant to say that this film is awful contact [email protected] or send and content-free, because I am very impressed with its form. A cash-in it to Roctober Magazine 1507 E. 53rd DVD with no licensed photos or music (and only a few seconds of fair use St. #617 Chicago IL 60615. REVIEW re-sung lyrics), and pretty much no actual images of Swift or anything POLICIES: We will review about her, this film thought about what the young singer’s teen fans would EVERYTHING physically submitted, in want, and wisely concluded that it wasn’t a bunch of middle-aged talking any format (vinyl, CD, cassette, 8- head rock critics or some Ken Burns-style public domain images track, wax cylinder, DVD, VHS, Beta, dissolving one into another. So instead the film (which is shot with slick, videogame, book, magazine, zine, soft focus production values resembling a feminine hygiene commercial) cake, bucket of chicken, etc.) For mixes reenactments of Swift getting positive reinforcement from her mom music my kingly tastes make me like and honest record execs with testimonials and TS-history lessons from vinyl the best and I will probably think “fans,” a/k/a cute, but normal looking teen girls, and one super hunky you are cooler if you send your young dude. Look for the heartbreaking 10-second, one-sided phone call release on vinyl. I do review some of her Jonas breakup, and a scene wear the family computer repairman digital submissions/downloads, but it decides to give Taylor lessons, in which the director briefly forgot is not a guarantee. But if you throw it on a cheap CD-R and mail it to me it that this wasn’t a porno. will definitely be reviewed.
